00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:04.863 align:middle line:84%
I have two more in this
section, and then, let's call

00:00:04.863 --> 00:00:06.000 align:middle line:90%
a halt for a few minutes.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.820 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:11.280 align:middle line:90%
This is rather a tourist poem.

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.232 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.232 --> 00:00:16.140 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Sailing
to Jerusalem."

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:20.640 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.790 align:middle line:84%
On coming up on deck
Palm Sunday morning,

00:00:24.790 --> 00:00:28.230 align:middle line:84%
we saw the seas the
dancing little tourist

00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:33.840 align:middle line:84%
ship climbed up and down
all night in cabin dreams.

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.100 align:middle line:84%
They came along in
ridges a horizon wide!

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:41.700 align:middle line:84%
and ran away astern
to the Americas

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:48.120 align:middle line:84%
we left, to break on headlands
and be called "the surf."

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:53.040 align:middle line:84%
After services below,
the pilgrims to the east

00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.800 align:middle line:84%
carried their
processed palm fronds

00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:58.770 align:middle line:84%
up on deck and some
of them went overboard

00:00:58.770 --> 00:01:01.020 align:middle line:90%
from children's hands.

00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:05.099 align:middle line:84%
So, Christ-- there
were the palm leaves

00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:10.800 align:middle line:84%
on the water as the first fruits
of the ocean's promised land.

00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:15.000 align:middle line:84%
They promise pilgrims
resurrection out at sea,

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.050 align:middle line:84%
though sea-sick fasters
in their rocking bunks

00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:24.640 align:middle line:84%
below cry out for a harbor,
order, and stability.

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.720 align:middle line:90%
But this is the place for it!

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:33.720 align:middle line:84%
The sky is high with it, the
water deep, the air its union--

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:35.400 align:middle line:90%
spray!

00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.970 align:middle line:84%
We all walk the water
just below the decks

00:01:38.970 --> 00:01:43.770 align:middle line:84%
too, helplessly dancing
to the world's variety

00:01:43.770 --> 00:01:48.590 align:middle line:84%
like your Jerusalem,
Byzantium, or Rome.

00:01:48.590 --> 00:01:49.192 align:middle line:90%
